<h1>Astropy v6.0 Released!</h1>
75+
76+
<p>
77+
Dear colleagues,
78+
</p>
79+
<p>
80+
We are very happy to announce the v6.0 release of astropy, a core Python
81+
package for Astronomy:
82+
</p>
83+
<p align='center'>
84+

85+
<a href="http://www.astropy.org">http://www.astropy.org</a>
86+
</p>
87+
<p>
88+
The astropy core package is a community-driven Python package intended to contain much of the
89+
core functionality and common tools needed for astronomy and astrophysics.
90+
It is part of the Astropy Project, which aims to foster an ecosystem of
91+
interoperable astronomy packages for Python.
92+
</p>
93+
<p>
94+
New and improved major functionality in this release includes:
95+
<ul>
96+
<li>Define Geodetic and Bodycentric Representations via their geometric parameters</li>
97+
<li>Body-fixed planetary reference frames and their WCS description</li>
98+
<li>Support for Numpy broadcasting over frame data and attributes</li>
99+
<li>Updates to cosmology</li>
100+
<li>Updates to how IERS data are handled</li>
101+
<li>Masked Time values now use Masked arrays internally</li>
102+
<li>Reading and writing VO model annotations</li>
103+
<li>TimeDelta string format “quantity_str”</li>
104+
<li>VOTable now supports PARQUET serialization</li>
105+
<li>Faster FITS file decompression</li>
106+
<li>New GeneralSersic2D model</li>
107+
</ul>
108+
</p>
109+
<p>
110+
In addition, hundreds of smaller improvements and fixes have been made.
111+
An overview of the changes is provided at:
112+

116+
</p>
117+
<p>
118+
Instructions for installing astropy are provided on our <a
119+
href="http://www.astropy.org">website</a>, and extensive documentation
120+
can be found at:
121+
</p>
122+

124+
</p>
125+
<p>
126+
If you usually use pip/vanilla Python, you can do:
127+
</p>
128+
<pre>
129+
pip install astropy --upgrade
130+
</pre>
131+
132+
<p>
133+
If you make use of the <a href="https://www.continuum.io/downloads">Anaconda
134+
Python Distribution</a>, soon you will be able update to Astropy v6.0 with:
135+
</p>
136+
<pre>
137+
conda update astropy
138+
</pre>
139+
<p>
140+
Or if you cannot wait for Anaconda to update their default version, you can use the conda-forge channel:
141+
</p>
142+
<pre>
143+
conda update -c conda-forge astropy
144+
</pre>
145+
<p>
146+
Please report any issues, or request new features via our GitHub repository:

159+

160+
Astropy paper. For the most up-to-date suggestions, see
